Dear Friends, Easter, when delight was turned to disappointment and disappointment was turned to delight. Surely Satan and the forces of evil must have thought they had won the great battle. If the forces of evil could have danced, surely they must have been dancing in the streets. They thought they had killed the Son of God. Darkness seemed to have been reigning supreme from the time when Judas and an armed crowd, came to arrest Jesus under the cloak of darkness. Darkness provided the cover for the evil intentions of those persecuting Jesus but also for the shameful abandonment of Jesus by his disciples. Even Peter had to slink away into the darkness to hide his shame. How the forces of evil must have rejoiced as “from noon onward there was darkness over the whole land,” until at last Jesus “gave up his spirit.” How they must have believed that this darkness was just a foretaste of the spiritual darkness which would envelope the earth unabated by the Light of the World. But God had another plan and turned their delight to disappointment. While darkness still seemed to reign, Mary Magdalene and her companions, and later Peter and John, came “while it was still dark” only to find an empty tomb. Disappointment upon disappointment, or so it seemed at first. But when they realized that the face cloth was separate from the other burial wrappings, a ray of hope and light pierced the darkness, never to be extinguished again. Rather, it was a ray of hope and light which was to grow in brilliance as Christ’s resurrection became known and its meaning understood. Praise God, disappointment is now turned to delight! “The New Testament writers speak as if Christ’s achievement in rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe. He is the ‘first fruits’, the ‘pioneer of life’. He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man. He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different because He has done so. This is the beginning of the New Creation: a new chapter in cosmic history has opened.” (C.S. Lewis, from Miracles) Christ’s arrest, suffering, death, burial and resurrection introduced a new creation, a new life that has not only escaped the bonds of death but also the chains of enslavement to our natural passions and their subsequent evil behavior. With Jesus’ resurrection comes power to live differently. Jesus introduces a whole new perspective and purpose to life—life lived in union and communion with the Trinity. This new-creation life is described in Ephesians 5 as walking in the Light because through the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence we are able to see life with new insight. In addition, walking in the Light implies a life of holiness is possible, free from the shadows of darkness. Wherever or whenever you are experiencing darkness of the soul, Jesus is there, a Light shining in darkness just as John said in the beginning of his Gospel. We should no longer shrink into our fears believing the lie that evil will triumph, but follow the disciples’ example and seek out the resurrected Christ. He is risen, he is triumphant, we are in him, full recipients of his victory. In Christ, we are a new creation, and can experience living as a new creation in the peace and power of Jesus. Contrary to the disciple in today’s Gospel reading, we need not see and believe, but instead we have the opportunity to believe and see. Happy Easter! Fr. John Queridos amigos, March 27, 2016 Pascua, cuando el deleite se convirtió en decepción y la decepción se convirtió en placer. Sin duda, Satanás y las fuerzas del mal deben haber pensado que habían ganado la gran batalla. Si las fuerzas del mal podrían haber bailado, seguramente debieron haber estado bailando en las calles. Ellos pensaron que habían matado al Hijo de Dios. La oscuridad parecía haber reinado desde el momento en que Judas y una multitud armada, vinieron a arrestar a Jesús bajo el manto de la oscuridad. La oscuridad cubrió las malas intenciones de los que perseguían a Jesús, y también cubrió el abandono vergonzoso a Jesús por sus discípulos. Incluso Pedro tuvo que escabullirse en la oscuridad para ocultar su vergüenza. Como las fuerzas del mal debieron regocijarse "desde el mediodía en adelante hubo oscuridad sobre toda la tierra", hasta que al final Jesús "entregó su espíritu." Como ellos debieron haber creído que esta oscuridad era sólo un anticipo de la oscuridad espiritual que sería envolver la tierra sin cesar por la luz del mundo. Pero Dios tenía otro plan y volvió la alegría de ellos a la decepción. Mientras la oscuridad todavía parecía reinar, María Magdalena y sus acompañantes y más tarde Pedro y Juan, llegaron "cuando todavía estaba oscuro" sólo para encontrar una tumba vacía. Decepción tras decepción, o al menos eso parecía al principio. Pero cuando se dieron cuenta de que la manta no estaba junto a los otros envoltorios del entierro, un rayo de esperanza y luz atravesó la oscuridad, para no ser extinguido de nuevo. Más bien, era un rayo de esperanza y de luz que fue creciendo en esplendor, así como la resurrección de Cristo llegó a ser conocida y comprendida. Alabado sea Dios, la decepción se volvió un deleite! “Los escritores del Nuevo Testamento hablan como si la realización de Cristo en la resurrección de los muertos haya sido el primer evento de este tipo en toda la historia del universo. Él es el ‘primer de los frutos’, el ‘pionero de la vida'. Él ha forzado una puerta que había sido cerrada desde la muerte del primer hombre. Él ha conocido, luchado y vencido al Rey de la Muerte. Todo es diferente porque Él lo ha hecho. Este es el comienzo de la nueva creación: un nuevo capítulo en la historia cósmica se ha abierto" ( C. S. Lewis, Milagros) La detención de Cristo, sufrimiento, muerte, sepultura y resurrección introdujeron una nueva creación, una nueva vida que no sólo ha escapado de las ataduras de la muerte, sino también a las cadenas de la esclavitud, a nuestras pasiones naturales y nuestro subsecuente mal comportamiento. Con la resurrección de Jesús viene el poder para vivir de manera diferente. Jesús introduce una nueva perspectiva y propósito a la vida - vida vivida en unión y comunión con la Trinidad. Esta vida de nueva creación se describe en Efesios 5, como caminar en la luz porque a través de la presencia permanente del Espíritu Santo somos capaces de ver la vida con una nueva perspectiva. Además, caminar en la luz implica una vida de santidad posible, libre de las sombras de la oscuridad. Donde quiera y cuando usted está experimentando oscuridad del alma, Jesús esta ahí, una luz que brilla en la oscuridad, tal y como Juan lo dice en el principio de su evangelio. No debemos reducir nuestros miedos, creyendo que la mentira triunfe el mal, pero si siguiendo el ejemplo de los discípulos y buscando a Cristo resucitado. Ha resucitado, él es triunfante, estamos en él, los beneficiarios completos de su victoria. En Cristo, somos una nueva creación y experimentamos la vida como una nueva creación en la paz y el poder de Jesús. Contrariamente al discípulo en la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, no necesitamos ver y creer, pero en cambio tenemos la oportunidad de creer y ver. Felices Pascuas!
